Bentley is the global leader dedicated to providing architects,
engineers, constructors, and owner-operators with comprehensive
software solutions for sustaining infrastructure. Founded in 1984,
Bentley has nearly 3,000 colleagues in more than 45 countries, $500
million in annual revenues, and, since 1999, has invested more than
$1 billion in research, development, and acquisitions.
Developed over two decades the Bentley bridge solution is composed
of a family of software applications including RM Bridge and LEAP
Bridge, to enable the complex modeling, design, and analysis of
virtually any bridge type, both existing and new structures, across
the many specialty areas of bridge design and construction.
- RM Bridge performs 4D (time) modeling of the bridge to simulate
construction, determine resilience during seismic and natural
events, and analyze rolling stock.
- LEAP Bridge software for concrete bridges is a U.S. industry
standard used by thousands of bridge engineers, 38 U.S. state
departments of transportation, and the FHWA.
The Bentley bridge solution is the foundation for Bridge
Information Modeling (BrIM), a new and innovative approach to
bridge engineering and project delivery.
A bridge information model can be an information definition of the
bridge asset, co-created by many people using an array of
technology to answer broad-ranging needs. BrIM fosters the use of
data beyond bridge design and engineering needs to inform
downstream processes such as fabrication, construction, maintenance
and inspection, benefiting the entire bridge lifecycle and
resulting in the development of new best-practices.
